Mantra 4
Sukta 38
राजन्येऽदुन्दुभावायतायामश्वस्य वाजे पुरुषस्य मायौ। इन्द्रं या देवी सुभगा जजान सा न ऐतु वर्चसा संविदाना
rājanyé ’dundubhāvāyatāyām áśvasya vājé púruṣasya māyáu | índraṁ yā́ devī́ subhágā jajā́na sā́ na étu várcasā saṁvidānā́ ||
The Lustre that is in the Rājanya, in the controlled advance where no drum is beaten; that which is in the horse’s victorious prize, in the man’s stratagemic skill;—the auspicious Goddess who brought forth Indra,—let her come unto us, in concord, with her splendour.
राजन्येऽदुन्दुभावायतायामश्वस्य वाजे पुरुषस्य मायौ यद्वर्चः। इन्द्रं या देवी सुभगा जजान सा न ऐतु वर्चसा संविदाना॥
